That, and his (Roberson) defense was that good.
That tells you how bad Huestis offense is. OKC CHOSE Roberson over him. They saw Roberson’s broken ass jumper as better.

OKC played Huestis 14 mpg in 2017-2018 for 69 games (he started 10 games)

did he do well? Nope.
Could he do better than Cunningham? Maybe, worth a try when he gets better.
I'm saying that Spurs need a defensive-SF that doesn't get in the way in offense and can play some resemblance in defense.
But not until then. It's no accident that the Spurs taking off has coincided with Cunningham falling out of the rotation. Adding a player who might not even be as good as him shouldn't move the needle.
thats certainly a good trait for a defensive-SF

No disagreement. If Huestis can prove that he's ready to be part of the bench, then that's a good development. If he simply can't improve his game then worse case we still with pondexter and cunningham (or someone else).
Huestis hasn't just been a bad outside shooter. He's been a bad shooter from everywhere on the court. That's not the case with Roberson, who did just fine near the rim. I've mentioned it a few times, but Danny Green crushes Huestis when it comes to shooting efficiency on drives. Just wastes him. That should tell you just how bad he is on that end. Also, he's actually not been a very good defender in the pros. Folks talk about him like he was some ace, but he's been nothing near how White has been.
Agree that he's nowhere near how White has been defensively.
a team with Lonnie Walker, Ben Moore, Huestis, Metu, Blair, Brimah and them should not struggle to win games. That's not a good sign for our prospects
This game Ahearn wanted to push his big man advantage which made sense and the numbers from Eubanks and Brimah prove that. OKC used their speed and defense effectively, taking advantage of the Toros' handling issues resulting in 28 turnovers -- ten from the Spurs send-downs.
This lineup will probably get better as they play more. Losing Ledbetter was pretty big though.
Yeah, I agree. This Austin team is not winning games!!
Austin should be winning games even with marginal talent because the system should take care of the winning.
I mean people expect Moore, Walker, Huestis, Metu and maybe even Eubanks to be future NBA players. They should destroy teams in the G-League if that was the case
Yeah, disappointing for these five (who all have played in the NBA, 3 of them drafted).
Meh, there is more parity in the league since two-way players have been introduced. Most teams are going to have four or five borderline NBA players at any given time. That might actually lead to some stunting of development compared to earlier years where you could just feed the stars nonstop like summer league, but the relative increase of talent is ultimately a plus for the league and the players in it.
Turnovers are going to dog this team for awhile; just illustrates the critical need for competent point guards in the G-League. The Toros currently have maybe half of one.
Heustis looks completely out of shape as compared to this:
Spurs now have open roster spot to add Huestis.
It will be more telling if the Spurs don’t bring him up.
Hes not even worth a roster spot in Austin....
He's as inefficient as post achilles kobe or Manure post 2012
Rather bring up Ben Moore for a look.
Huestis is your prototypical SF (Spurs need) but I'd be ok with Moore as well - at least now we finally have the opportunity to try people out.
He's a prototypical scrub, so yes, he is a need for PATFO
I forget Spurs don't need perimeter defense...
Huestis has no offensive game. At least Bowen could hit the corner 3, even Cunningham can do that now. I think even pondexter might be better than Huestis. Right now Huestis is classic tweener, he is too small for Power forward but lack skills to be an offensive small forward.
I wanna kick the tires on Ben moore and see what the Spurs have.
His shot is improving, less hesitant. Also he's recovering well from an injury.
